Manhattan Beach businesses encountering individuals who enter their establishments causing disruptive and harassing behavior to both employees and customers should do the following:

• If the problem is an emergency that requires immediate medical or police assistance, call 9-1-1. If the problem does not require an immediate police or medical response, call the non-emergency line at (310) 545-4566. This is answered 24-hours a day.

• If the subject frequently visits your property and officers are constantly called to enforce trespassing laws, you can pre-sign a Trespass Letter of Authorization form.  By completing this form, you authorize officers to act on your (the business owner/property owner) behalf to enforce trespassing laws without you being present.
